Description: Das Projekt "Biosafety Testing Methodologies for Transgenic Plants" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von DEZA, Direktion für Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit durchgeführt. There is wide recognition that the regulatory and scientific capacity for conducting risk assessments of GMOs needs to be strengthened in most developing countries. The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety of Living Modified Organisms under the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD) requires that parties cooperate in the development and/or strengthening of human resources and institutional capacities in biosafety. The project works in three focal countries, Brazil, Kenya and Vietnam, all of which have expressed the need for resources and capacity for environmental risk assessment, and which can act as centers of expertise for their regions. http://www.gmoera.umn.edu/index.html Projektziel: The goal of the project is to develop scientific methodologies for the environmental risk assessment of transgenic plants (referred to in the proposal as GMO-ERA). The two central goals for Phase II are 1) to enable the scientists from the focal developing countries to develop and implement independently the environmental risk assessment models that have been jointly developed by the project, including contributing to the regulatory process, and 2) to expand and generalize the use of project products to neighbouring developing countries. The project targets scientists involved in the regulatory process or providing consultation for regulators, scientists generating ERA data, and government regulators.
